My personal advice - use a password manager, and make every password and username different. Make sure your master password is at least 25 characters long (a short sentence/statement is often easy to remember and long enough. Throw a number in there for fun).

Never let the browser save your passwords, history, cookies, or otherwise. #internetsafety #privacy
